Task Description
Bosch Siemens Home Appliances developed an innovative device called the IoT Smart Kitchen Dock, designed to revolutionize kitchen work through Alexa integration and features like hands-free gestures and read- aloud functionalities. My responsibility was to ensure the software’s quality through extensive mobile testing, conduct in-depth testing at the Android ADB level, and devise future test automation strategies. Additionally, I was tasked with preparing the device for new markets, particularly in Northern Europe.
Outcome
We implemented extensive mobile testing, conducted in-depth Android ADB testing (as well as iOS), and performed targeted tests to ensure both stability and user-friendliness. Furthermore, we developed forward- looking test automation strategies, resulting in blueprints and proofs of concept. The Smart Kitchen Dock was successfully launched in Northern Europe, and Bosch Siemens was highly satisfied with the combination of technical precision and strategic foresight we brought to the project.
